Founded in 1998, TCGplayer.com started as a web design company before transforming into a premier online marketplace for collectible trading card games. The company connects buyers with major eCommerce dealers, offering a wide variety of products including Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokémon cards.

Acquired by eBay in 2022 for US$295 million, TCGplayer employs over 600 team members and serves millions of buyers and tens of thousands of sellers. It focuses on innovations such as card authentication, grading, and connecting brick-and-mortar hobby shops with online tools. Despite its success, the company faced controversies regarding unionization and worker rights, leading to charges against eBay for illegal practices in 2023.

Recent brand deals include MKohl40, The Magic Historian, Andrea Mengucci VEEDEO, The DB Grinder and Scrybabies60. You can request access to our brand deal research below for a complete report.
